Morning, left for City Hall to meet XW. I figured Ben was coming but had no idea what we were doing. I was first to reach. Later found we and 1 of XW's friends(Johan) were going together to queue for tix to some arts event. We reached at 12. Giveaway started at 3. So we waited. And queued.

And thought of funny stuff to say. (Is this the queue? Yup, the one for wolverine hello kittys! Is this the front or back of the queue? Front. We're all queueing to get into the back of that lorry.) And played with riddles and puzzles. (Got stumped.) And then finally got our tickets. ("Hey when we get the tickets let's go YES! and tear them up in front of the people behind!")

Then I feel guilty. Cos I saw my cousin behind me. Though at first I wasn't sure. Just a few people behind me only, and she didn't managed to get the tickets. =S So I'm passing her one of ours. =)We went to Funan and met Manel, who everyone but me seems to know (I oughta expand my social circle, ha-ha) and she joined us for lunch(?) at like almost 4. Went to Raffles City, Shokudo. =)

After that, Ben, XW, and I went to the flyer cos he needed to collect his Nike race pack and I needed to meet my folks. Val would be picking them up to go to the council BBQ. After my Flyer trip, they were still at the Flyer, so I joined them. Actually they said they would probably go for a while and then leave which was why I joined them so we could do something later. But they stayed quite a bit. So I, kinda, like crashed their party. =X

ANDDD...I think/hope XW and Val don't read this. Cos XW was a little scared of the way Val rocketed across the island's highways at 120kmph. And the main roads at 96kmph. And threw her huge 8-seater MPV (Multi-purpose vehicle) around curves and hard rights like a tuned, modded, and reinforced Subaru rally car around the track.

That girl has got nerves of steel. I wouldn't mind doing so with a modified car that's low to the ground but this is an MPV with a relatively high centre of gravity. It's like a hippo. She must have rally driver blood in her somewhere. Lol!

She still had a teeny bit of a problem parking. =X We stopped the car less than a foot before her rear bumper would have touched the tree. I think it was like 20cm away from kissing palm (tree). Well at least we arrived in one piece. Arriving at the (not really BBQ but catered buffet) was a lee-tle awkward. But no one asked any funny questions. After a while, XW had to leave so I went with her (Needed to unlock and lock the car and return the keys.)

There were baby roaches. With an S. Roachesss. She reached for her stuff EEK! There's a bug in the car. It just went into the aircon. There's more! I picked up her laptop pouch and spotted a baby roach taking it's first steps (Well, not really) on the dashboard for all to see, one scurrying below the aircon vent, and one which disappeared it.

Probably a nest inside there somewhere. There's just something about val and bugs. I just hope they don't try anything funny when she's driving. Especially from the aircon vents. I wonder what they eat inside. Maybe it's like cockroach Survivor: Valerie's Family Car! Outeat ,outbreed, outlive.

Then again on a more serious note, I do worry for her. The way she drives, it is a little...high-risk. I suppose she is confident in the capabilities of her car but an MPV is not meant to be slung about our roads like a Bugatti on the curves of Nurburgring (Google it.) She passed her TP, but at times it gets...thrilling, to say the least.
